Gael girls lose to Bulldogs

December 5, 2012

HAMPTON - The St. Edmond girls had their 23-game North Central Conference win streak snapped Tuesday night, dropping a 57-45 decision to Hampton-Dumont.

The Gaels (3-1 overall, 3-1 in NCC) are the defending league champions after going a perfect 18-0 in conference play a season ago.

Anna Yung scored 22 points to lead St. Edmond, which was unable to climb out of a 32-21 halftime deficit to the Bulldogs (4-0, 3-0). The sophomore was 8-for-11 from the field.

"Hampton-Dumont is a little bit different of a team, as they played zone the entire game," SEHS head coach Scott Messerly said. "They are a big team, going 5-foot-11, 5-11, 6-0 across the line. They had a lot of second shot opportunities and we just couldn't match them.

"We were able to get the lead down to four, but just couldn't get over the hump."

Jaci Stumpf added five points and six assists for St. Edmond, while Alli Huss had eight points, eight rebounds and three steals.
